  • 2022-2023: CRIOS

    Project period: November 2022 - December 2023

    SIOS was part of the “Cryosphere Integrated Observatory Network on Svalbard (CRIOS)” project funded by the EEA  funding scheme for basic research. This project aimed to modernise and expand an automated monitoring network focused on the cryosphere of Spitsbergen as a calibration/validation system for research in Svalbard. The project was designed to optimise the use of Polish and Norwegian research infrastructure established in Svalbard. SIOS was involved in remote sensing-based monitoring activities associated with this project.

    2020-2022: ENRIITC

    Project period: January 2020 - December 2022

    The ENRIITC [ɪnˈrɪʧ] project aimed to build a permanent pan-European network of Industrial Liaison and Contact Officers (ILOs and ICOs) and enable industry to become a full partner of research infrastructures whether it is as a user, a supplier, or a co-creator.

    SIOS was an associated partner.

    2018-2023: Nansen Legacy

    Project period: 2018 - 2023

    The Nansen Legacy is the collective answer of the Norwegian research community to the outstanding changes witnessed in the Barents Sea and the Arctic as a whole. Ten major Norwegian research institutions are sharing their resources, competence and infrastructure to provide a cross-disciplinary scientific basis for long-term, holistic, and sustainable management of marine ecosystems and human presence in the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Ocean.

    SIOS is involved in the data management.
